I have an eCommerce site that was recently moved from one host to another while maintaining the same domain name. It was also moved to zencart from a different cart therefore the file structure and URL are different.
Basically it was an emergency rebuild.
The move took place a couple of weeks ago but has not been indexed for the new pages. All searches reveal the old URL which now longer exist so I am getting very little traffic and a lot of 404's.
Traffic and sales have taken a drastic nose dive. I need to get the pages redirected somehow.
I don't have access to the old host to create redirects so I'm a bit flummoxed.
I was thinking maybe creating some new pages with URL the same as those that are 404ing and redirecting to the new pages. The old URL structure is \item_#\page-url.htm (item_# would be an item number from the old dbase)
I'm also thinking a sitemap on this site would help. Is their a recommended module?
Any ideas please? I'm open to any and all constructive ideas
thanks
